Topic: TMLfans Raising $10,000 for Cancer (Read 9897 times)

Yes, TMLfans.ca has registered a team in the 5th Annual Road Hockey to Fight Cancer event. And we're raising AT LEAST $10,000 in the fight to beat cancer.

To each such a goal, we'd LOVE for you to make a donation of any size. You can donate to the team in general, or any of the players registered for the event. We've got 12 players including the likes of Rob, Rick, Darryl, Damian, Steve - just to name a few.

Please, if you're wanting to be a small part of this goal - please check out our team page!

A quick update, I'm really proud of our team's efforts so far. We have nearly reached the $2,000 mark already!

This is a cause that hits home for more than a few members on this site.

On a personal level, I'm playing for my cousin who passed away to cancer in the Philippines last year. And also, for a friend - not that much older than me - who was claimed by the disease in 2012. And, for a couple of good friends of my mom's, who are no longer among us.

With your help, our team hopes to raise as much money as possible so that we can support The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation as they fight to CONQUER CANCER IN OUR LIFETIME!

For me I am doing this cause it's a fun event and it supports a great cause. Cancer is not very prevalent in my family but like every person these days I have lost friends to this horrible disease. I get to play hockey and it helps people....well then sign me up... and I did.

This is definitely a cause that hits close to home for me. It will be 10 years this coming May that I lost my mother to breast cancer. Last year my girlfriend (now wife) was diagnosed with thyroid cancer a couple months before our wedding and all those horrible memories came flooding back. Thankfully I believe the doctors removed all the cancer, but it is one of those things that need to be regularly monitored just in case.
